Rogin E Bloggers Unbreakable Challenge Update (March 31, 2008) -- My Personal Reflections After One Month

I've been struggling with weight loss ever since we got married last January 2003. Rache and I have been hitting the gym almost 3x a week before we got married. We were disciplined in the food that we eat. Over the years, I let my weight accumulate to my heaviest weight ever at 212 lbs. One reason is we love to eat and the OAP blog was a witness to that.

The Rogin E Bloggers Challenge is my 5th attempt to lose weight since last year. The first attempt was my decision to join the marathon -- my first ever that took place last year. It was very effective in training my body and legs to run the entire 42km stretch. But it was not effective because I continued to eat whatever I liked. My second attempt was to enroll in a one-year membership at Gold's Gym. I only used it once or twice. Gold's Gym just profited from that arrangement. The 3rd attempt was just last December when I joined a biggest loser challenge among office friends. I lost in that challenge and I still owe P1,000 to Boni, who won. Two months ago, Jim Lafferty launched a company wide biggest loser challenge where the winner will go to the Corporate Athlete training in Florida, USA. I lost that too! So, for those who are attempting to lose weight, you can probably empathize with my struggle. Can you share your own story?

After 1 month into the Rogin E Bloggers Weight Loss Challenge, I'm just starting to get into the gym groove. Thanks to Rogin E for the 2 months Gold's Gym membership, the excellent trainer Jopet and the Nike apparel incentives for hitting the gym. I've been traveling lately so I did not have a chance to go to the gym for the last two weeks. To get back on track, I just finished my 15km Mizuno Infinity run yesterday at the Fort Bonifacio area. I finished my run under 2 hours. I liked Mizuno's tagline of "Never Stop" running but ironically, the water supply stopped after the 7km mark. (Just a side note: I'm disappointed that even Mizuno does not know how to organize a proper Marathon).

As with any green blooded archer, my motto is "Never Shall I Fail...". I hope you don't mind that I make my OAP friends, as my accountability partners in my unbreakable quest to lose weight and get that 6-pack abs :) I will update you every week about my progress on the Rogin E unbreakable challenge.
